Lagos to commence removal of abandoned, accidented vehicles (SUN)

The Lagos State Government, on Monday, announced plans to commence removal of all abandoned vehicles on roads to complement emergency recovery efforts and prevent mishaps on streets and major highways in the State.

Commissioner for Special Duties and Intergovernmental Relations, Mr. Oluseye Oladejo, said this during the ongoing Ministerial Press Briefing to commemorate the third year anniversary of Governor Akinwunmi Ambode-led administration held at the Bagauda Kaltho Press Centre in Alausa.

He said the move was aimed at further addressing traffic decongestion and averting security challenges associated with abandoned vehicles.
